I had the most challenging time photographing bald eagles for
BACK FROM THE BRINK: Saving Animals From Extinction. Everywhere I went I saw eagles -- when I DIDN'T have my camera equipment. They seemed to be playing with me as they flew over my car time after time. Finally, I did observe and photograph them in Florida and New York State.
Every time I see them flying free overhead, I am reminded of how close we came to losing this magnificent bird. If it wasn't for the
Endangered Species Act we probably would have.
Here are five titles that feature our national bird and one of my final photos.
